SalB: What could you possibly diss about Boston? (We have already covered the subway and transit system. We are the Hub of the Nation and justifiably so. We are the Seat of Wisdom. If you and and crc95 like schools and libraries - Boston must be the center of the Universe for those institutions - say nothing of some of our other educational friends 60 miles away. We have all the sports and the most knowledgeable sports fans. We have the best newspapers. Most of our ghettoes has already gone "upscale." Last but certainly not least, we are finishing up on the largest and most expensive road construction project in the history of mankind - including the Great Pyramids. All courtesy of the other 49 generous states. What a country! BTW, funny you asked but I took some time off from Harley riding and attended Ozawa's return to the BSO at Tanglewood last weekend along with a food and wine tasting. Fifty of so wineries from California were represented. It was a gorgeous (and expensive) weekend. The weekend after next is Beethoven's 9th for the final weekend at Tanglewood for the season.

crc95: Ok, I'll bite. Tell me what you were doing wandering around Southside Chicago at night.
